Beautiful hotel, staff was great! Location was also super convenient and the lobby and room was very tastefully decorated, the only issue is the coffee maker was dirty. The water reservoir had hair and dirty inside. In addition, the bed was not the comfiest, the mattress and pillows were well on the firmer side. Would definitely stay again though!

I liked the walkability and the roominess of the lodging. What needs some work is that the bathrobes were dingy and needed some bleaching or the like. Also, our Keurig was very temperamental and ended up not working by the end of our stay.

Definitely Coming Back

We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be coming back. The hotel is very pet friendly and comfortable. As we visit Victoria to visit family it is great to have a suite instead of a regular hotel room, people can come and visit in comfort, there are enough chairs and a place to eat without everyone having to squeeze onto the hotel bed.
